Sony hackers plotting attack on PSN or getting played by Sock Puppet Software

In an earlier article it was discovered that 2 other hacker groups were aiming at Sony for bragging rights. Obviously not far from your memory are the names Lulzsec and Idahca. After close observation of the twitter feed for Lulzsec there have been a few interesting points of interest that needs to be disclosed. Including Sock Puppet Software and the high risk of another PSN attack.

They just need to stop with this. It is getting completely out of hand.

doctorstrange5384d ago

Just wanna point out they have nothing to do with PSN/gaming.

Lulzec: You Sony morons realize we've never attacked any of your precious gaming, right? Do you know Sony does this thing called "music" too? http://twitter.com/#!/LulzS...

Useless, annoying people, but shouldnt be reported on here.

MagicGamer5384d ago (Edited 5384d ago )

You are believing one tweet that was posted in anger at another person by them??!!! get real, you sound like their attorney. Because they say they didn't do anything, then that means they won't and haven't, right?

MysticStrummer5384d ago

I don't care which part of which company they're hacking. They're jerks who could use their talents for something cool that would make them some money, but instead they'd rather screw with someone else's work. You're right that it shouldn't be on here though.

Bereaver5384d ago

Doctor, I would like to point out MagicGamer's point again. Let's say there's an unknown individual going around killing women, but then tomorrow there's a guy that gets caught killing a man. The man says "I didn't kill the women, I promise." And you would be the judge to say... "Ohhh! He's right! He said he didn't so it must be true!"

Please, don't believe criminals.

doctorstrange5384d ago

Fair enough.

But you can agree that "Sony hackers plotting attack on PSN" is a step too far right?

That's like a newspaper hearing about an individual that goes around killing women and running the headline: "Killer to Target Men"

xabmol5383d ago

I bet if hackers took the mega corp Walmart out of business for a couple of days; folks would be screaming and yelling about not being able to buy useless plastic crap and $10 jeans. Even though it was hacked because of all the fucked up things Walmart does. (low wages, all part time with no benefits, child labor from 3rd world countries) But no one cares as long as they get their plastic crap.

Sony, much like Wally World, is just a fake legal person with no conscious and an insatiable lust for money.

LMAO! I can't believe I just read someone try to give an analogy, and compare hacking PSN, with mass murder. :D LMAO... only this site and it's Sony fanboys. :D

X-DominusRebellis-X5383d ago

Lol "Interesting points of interest"...

DragonKnight5383d ago

It's interesting to note that gamers, probably including multi-console owners and 360 only owners who know what the consequences will be, ask and/or demand them to stop and for doing so are instantly labelled as Sony fanboys.

Maybe it's people who work hard for their money and want to enjoy an type of entertainment they paid good money for and don't want some losers with too much time ruining it for them.

These hackers need a harsh reality check.

"Sony fanboy logic: All hacking is bad, unless you do it to Microsoft, then you're our heroes forever" -- Well, he's got a point there.

But really though, this crap has to stop. It's getting annoying. I hope every last one of them is arrested. I thought it was way more cool when they were hacking into the networks of middle eastern nations.

Majors5383d ago

Thing is with hackers they always go for the weakest link, which usually affects games. They need to take a step back and think about who they are interfering with and its not just the mega corps its us the consumers. I personally chose the ps3 because I like sony products always have and probably always will. If you have a problem with Sony dont buy their products and stay away.. But dont fuck up the people who did buy them..

Let them get rid of PSN.

What will we be left with?

A slew of creative, single-player experiences hand crafted to rival the legendary games of the PS2-era.

This could actually be good for gaming if you take it in that light, though I honestly wouldn't risk it.

popup5383d ago

I really hope Bulzsac refrains from tea-bagging Sony.

lil Titan5383d ago

why cant they just leave Sony alone i mean they did do something illegal and they expect not to be prosecuted? i partly blame MS, instead if suing the people who hack they offered them a job? are they serious?

skrug5383d ago (Edited 5383d ago )

more hackers should hack MS if their goal is to a job, lol

jke825383d ago

LEAVE SONY ALONE !!!!!?!?!?!!!
*insert tears and crying here*

Ala LEAVE BRITTNEY ALONE
id post the youtube link but work locks me out...fuckers

Ult iMate5383d ago (Edited 5383d ago )

Where can I sign the "Get your ****ing dirty hands off the PSN, you mother-hackers!" petition? I pay my money for games and because of group of some anonymous morons, I can't play with my friends and buy downloadable content.
99.9% of normal PS3 gamers are suffering from 0.1% dicks, that imagine themselves as some digital messiahs (but in fact are duchebags with no life).

Bebedora5383d ago

@Kon - Ok, you're the boss. lol

Dee_915383d ago (Edited 5383d ago )

haha
they think sony isnt doing anything because they have been quiet about the situation

little do they know sony is watching all of this waiting for another hack

ThanatosDMC5383d ago

Two bullets outta fix the problem.

BlackTar1875383d ago

Midnightr... and you are what again?

Orionsangel5383d ago (Edited 5383d ago )

Hacking in itself is often a selfish act. They're either doing it to prove they can do or because they didn't get their way or both. No matter what it always hurts the consumer.

I hope this is a ploy by the authorities to get Lulzsec and anyone connected to them.

SuperStrokey11235384d ago

What good would it be if they made it so PSN was down forever? They would literally be depriving millions of people of their gaming pleasure. Im sure they dont want that do they?

Silly gameAr5384d ago (Edited 5384d ago )

Read the tweets in the article. Those guys don't care. From their tone, it seems they think anyone with a PS3 is a Sony fanboy. They sound like a bunch of fanboys to me.
I hope Someone sacks their a**es good.

rob60215384d ago

I'm sure several of them have probably been reading N4G. To at least acknowledge the presence of a 'sony fanboy.' We only inhabit this area remember.

iamnsuperman5384d ago

who comes up with these hacker group names....

OT: So they attack PBS and now targeting the PS3. There is like no connection between the two. Its like there just randomly targeting what ever company they can get into just to get publicity. Like the annoying child who always wants mummy's attention.

zackacloud5384d ago

U too old my friend.

Now because of over freedom even children become more childish.

Now they want the whole mall attention if they in some of these malls.

BlackTar1875383d ago

Man the future for Computer security is gonna drastically change for the worse in the next 5-10yrs. Thye have hearing about it i just got of a webex about it. The future that these hackers are making for themselves is gonna consume them. There gonna be to blame but you can guarantee they will be playing the victim roll then as well.

MagicGamer5384d ago

It affects me and my gaming on the PS3 when these idiots are collaborating to assault the network I am on. This should by all means be here for other gamers to notice and become informed of. On the lighter side I hope to god it's the authorities and their Sock Puppet software lurking up on them.

At first I was like, No Code Veronica on the list!? But then I seen Mainline. The list checks out, but I would personally put 2 over 4.

KwietStorm_BLM1d 1h ago

I'll take 2 over 4 also. And even without a number, I don't see how Code Veronica, my other favorite in the franchise, isn't mainline when it's the actual sequel to RE2.

Rebel_Scum1d 4h ago

The original RE was the best. Its not on the list which makes no sense.

The remake of it was alright but should be higher on this list.

-Foxtrot1d 1h ago

The original RE smokes VII and Village, come on.

I would be interested in a Saints Row 2 Remake.

Alos881d 10h ago

I would agree... if the old Volition was still around to do it.

Abnor_Mal2d ago

I just started this game last night, just the player creation had me upset. You choose male but they stand like a female. Eyebrows are all effeminate, face, and verything seems to be modeled after a female with a thin male overlay.

I only played the opening and didn’t even complete that before I turned the game off. I will likely go back and try it again, but a very weird first impression.

Huey_My_D_Long1d 12h ago

You sound super weak to be upset by a character creator ngl

ChunkyMonk1d 12h ago

welcome to your average n4g daily user lol

chicken_in_the_corn2d ago

I'm not surprised after the backlash and hatred the last one got.

1nsomniac2d ago

The franchise has been complete utter garbage for almost 20 years. The first one was the only decent game of the lot of them.

Huey_My_D_Long1d 12h ago

OMG Thank you! Never understood how people raved about Saints Row like it was GOATED.
Honestly Janky Generic feeling titles with Humor that tried to way too hard. People criticize Borderlands for its humor, but holy hell, still leagues better than any SR.

Kinda dumb they asked for his pitch then ghosted him, the concept sounded dope

Grand Theft Auto Relied on "Illusions" Over Simulation, According to Obbe Vermeij

The second part of GTA BOOM's interview with Obbe Vermeij where they turn from origin stories to craft. Specifically, how early GTA games created the illusion of life, and why that illusion still matters more than brute-force simulation.
